Why you should join our team

We’re expanding our team. (Job descriptions are here.) If you are a flexible, empathetic, compassionate, creative problem solver, we’d love to work with you!

Haven isn’t your usual nonprofit job. “We do things so differently from any other organization,” said Kareena, our Director of Programs.

But what does that mean?

It means we offer great benefits:

 - wellness stipend

 - colleague connect — 90 minutes/month to connect with a colleague, on the clock

 - 36-hour work week

- 160 hours of paid time off the first year

It means we work to live into our values.

It means that 100 percent of staff said in a recent poll that they felt supported by their direct supervisor and by their peers.
Here’s how some Haven staff responded when asked, “what’s one word to describe why you like working at Haven?”

It means that leadership has worked to create a salary structure that’s equitable and in line with our values.

Here’s more from an Authority Magazine interview featuring Haven Executive Director Erica Aytes Coyle:

If our staff on the front lines — the ones who work directly with domestic violence survivors — aren’t getting compensated properly, our organization is perpetuating the same inequities we work against every day. Haven is one of 16 organizations nationwide that have scrapped the traditional salary structure in favor of using a structure that highlights areas of responsibility. We’re compensating for vicarious trauma and emotional labor, which is something that people don’t often get compensated for. And no one has had to take a pay cut.

Haven didn’t get to this salary structure alone. We worked with VegaMala Consulting — recognized in Nonprofit Quarterly this year — who are now doing a series of webinars called Put Your Money Where Your Values Are, to help other nonprofits do the work that we’re continuing to do.
